The ground conditions in the Terryland River Valley area present considerable site development challenges to geotechnical engineers. The soft soil formation consists of peat overlying very soft, highly compressible calcareous ...

In this paper, contaminated sediment dredged from a commercial harbour in Ireland was stabilized using Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) alone and in combination with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS). The engineering ...

This paper presents the findings from laboratory strength and durability tests on stabilised soil blocks (SSBs). SSBs are masonry units formed by compressing a mixture of soil and a stabiliser such as cement and water in ...

This paper describes a decision support framework to help
industrial organisations make positive investment decisions on energy
performance improvement projects. It is intended as a simple and
repeatable approach for ...

The viability of turbulence parameter estimation in a numerical model using 3DVAR data assimilation technique is explored in this research. Water currents measured in a physical model are assimilated into the numerical ...

In recent years European cycling has undergone a renaissance with various initiatives
including the establishment of EuroVelo and the proposed European trans-border cycling
infrastructure. Significant advances on this ...

The use of digital resources in higher education has risen significantly over the last ten years and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The challenge for educational instructors is in determining how to ...

This paper investigates the
environmental conditions inside a highly-glazed cross-ventilated meeting room.
A 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of an indoor environment is
developed with the support of the field ...

The reinforcement of timber using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) rods or plates is widely accepted as an effective
method of increasing the strength and stiffness of members, while at the same time reducing the variability ...
